Problem #1: A well was drilled offshore into an unconsolidated formation. The used sand control methods were not successful so the well was shut-in. The average annual surface temperature in that area is 84 EF and the temperature gradient is 1.6 EF/100 ft. The shut-in surface pressure is 850 psig and the shut-in bottom hole pressure is 2800 psig. It is known that the wellbore (diameter = 5.5 inches) is filled with gas (SG = 0.78, z = 0.85), oil (API = 32E), water (SG = 1.08), and water saturated sand (D = 35 gm/cc). Knowing that there is a 2500 ft of gas, a 2000 ft of sand-free water, and a 500 ft of water-saturated sand, calculate the following:
